Weather-tight first, then lasting storm repairs
A gap between chimney and wall after the storm
If a gap has opened where the chimney meets the wall, treat it as a serious sign, especially after strong wind. It can mean the chimney has moved at its base or its top.
Keep clear of the chimney, leave the fireplace unused and tell us what you see. We look at where the gap starts, how wide it runs and whether it is still opening. Some movement needs more than a chimney repair to assess. We explain what we can confirm and what needs further investigation.
The damper after water came down
If rain entered the flue during the storm, the damper took the water first. Metal plates rust quickly when soaked, and debris on the plate can hold moisture against it.
We check the damper for water, rust and debris and make sure it still opens and closes. Light rust can be cleaned off. A damper that has seized or rusted through is noted as a separate repair. The source of the water is fixed first, so the damper does not rust again.
Working only when conditions are safe
We do not climb onto a roof in high wind, lightning or heavy rain. Work at height after a storm waits for safe conditions, even when the damage is obvious from the ground.
Until then, we can advise you from the ground and by phone on keeping the house protected. Keep the fireplace unused and people clear of the area below the chimney. Once conditions allow, we reach the chimney, make it weather-tight and assess the damage. A short wait is safer than a fall, for us and for your roof.
Banging from the chimney top in gusts
A cap or chase cover that bangs or rattles in the wind is loose. The noise can be the first sign, before the part lifts or falls from the chimney.
Tell us when the noise happens and which direction the wind was coming from. We check the fasteners and the part itself. Refastening a sound part is often enough. A part that has bent from repeated movement is replaced, since it is unlikely to hold tight again. Catching it early usually saves a larger repair after the next storm.
What goes on a storm repair estimate
- Chase siding or stucco check
- Temporary cover over an open flue
- Crown cracks sealed or crown recast

Chimney cap and chase cover storm questions
Why check the whole chimney top if only the cap came off?
Wind that lifts a cap often loosens other parts too. The crown, flashing, chase cover and top courses can be damaged without showing from the ground. Checking them together avoids a second leak after the next storm.
Is same-day storm repair available?
Same-day visits are available when the schedule allows and the roof is safe to reach. A temporary cover can often go on during that visit. Permanent repairs are scheduled once the extent of the damage is known.
Do you have an emergency line for storm damage?
Yes, our emergency line runs 24/7. For a fire or any immediate danger to people, call 911 before anyone else. For urgent chimney damage, describe what you see from a safe place when you call.
